I just moved here a couple of weeks ago from FL, and I had met another Filipina at work. I was told that there are a whole lot more working there.
You can have a lot of friends if you just open yourself up and try to get over your initial shyness. Friendship is something that goes beyond race, color or creed, so be open and accepting and don't just limit your "friends" to people who share the same cultural background as you do. Otherwise, you'd never get the chance to know how homemade fajitas, jerk pork or meatloaf would actually taste like.
